🌸 Coming up in this video I’m experimenting with free machining on dissolvable fabric creating a delicate lace like design using the sewing machine.

I’ll show you the process from stitching the design to dissolving the fabric and revealing the finished piece. It’s a fun technique that opens up so many creative possibilities for textile art, embroidery, jewellery and other mixed media projects. 🫶🏼
